SYNC in __switch_to() is a historic relic and not needed at all. - In UP context it is obviously useless, why would we want to stall the core for all updates to stack memory of t0 to complete before loading kernel mode callee registers from t1 stack's memory. - In SMP, there could be potential race in which outgoing task could be concurrently picked for running on a different core, thus writes to stack here need to be visible before the reads from stack on other core. Peter confirmed that generic schedular already has needed barriers (by way of rq lock) so there is no need for additional arch barrier. This came up when Noam was trying to replace this SYNC with EZChip specific hardware thread scheduling instruction for their platform support.

* -"C" version of lowest level context switch asm macro called by schedular
|
|
* gcc doesn't generate the dward CFI info for hand written asm, hence can't
|
|
* backtrace out of it (e.g. tasks sleeping in kernel).
|
|
* So we cheat a bit by writing almost similar code in inline-asm.
|
|
* -This is a hacky way of doing things, but there is no other simple way.
|
|
* I don't want/intend to extend unwinding code to understand raw asm
